The true economy of the New Organization is to be found in the greater educational facilities provided for all of the children, rather than in the great capacity of the plants secured under the new plan. The upper grades, 511 classes, will have a daily school program of the following type: 80 minutes in classroom for academic work; 40 minutes in gymnasium or play-yard or grounds for physical training and play; 40 minutes for general exercises in the auditorium; 60 minutes for luncheon; 140 minutes in classroom for academic work; and 80 minutes for drawing-rooms, science laboratories, or manual-training and workshops. The lower grades, 511 classes, will have a program of the following type: same as for upper grades, except that the last period of 80 minutes will be given to play, excursions, library, church instruction, or at home. As a rule the children will have 380 minutes in school in addition to the luncheon hour, in place of the 300 minutes provided in the regular full-time school. Such a study-work-and-play school removes the children very largely from the demoralizing life of the street, and gives ample time for academic, physical, and prevocational training. ────────────────────┬───────────────┬─────────────── │ Average time │ Average time SUBJECTS │per week under │per week under │ regular │ New │ full-time │Organization in │organization in│ Bronx schools │ New York City │ (minutes) │ (minutes) │ ────────────────────┼───────────────┼─────────────── Opening exercises │ 75 │ 100 Music │ 60 │ 100 Physical training, │ 120 │ 200 recesses, │ │ physiology, hygiene │ │ English, geography, │ 1010 │ 1100 history, and │ │ arithmetic │ │ Nature-study and │ 80 │ 133 science │ │ Drawing │ 85 │ 133 Construction work │ 70 │ 134 ────────────────────┼───────────────┼─────────────── Total time per week │ 1500 │ 1900 ────────────────────┴───────────────┴─────────────── Under the old regular full-time organization, only manual-training and cooking-rooms are provided, and for seventh and eighth grades alone.
